James Harden's extraordinary shapeshifting beard through the years

James Harden's extraordinary shapeshifting beard through the years

James Harden is one of the deadliest scorers in the NBA, but his beard-growing skills are even more fearsome than his abilities on the court. His beard is so legendary, in fact, that it was recently given its own promotional USB flash drive from Foot Locker.

It wasn’t always this way, though. As one Reddit user points out with an amazing GIF, Harden’s beard was relatively ordinary in 2009, when he was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Not only that, but he didn’t sport the mohawk that has become his trademark.

Some greatness takes time to develop. Harden had a breakout season in his first year with the Houston Rockets, and along with his on-court play, his beard game was taken to new heights. There’s no telling where he goes from here.
